create atmosphere with pendants

Create the perfect atmosphere We all know the feeling of being in pleasant and comfortable surroundings. The feeling of safety and well-being. Why are there places we return to again and again? Comfort and atmosphere. Le Corbusier, the iconic architect, divided his architectural designs into two rooms, the exterior and the interior. This approach considered both the light and people s activities in buildings and in their surroundings. On light in general, Le Corbusier said: The right type of light at the right time and in the right amount. At the same time, Poul Henningsen was working on his lighting philosophy, developing - as a reflection of Le Corbusier s views on architecture - his later world-famous lighting fixtures based on the multi-shade principle. Again, comfort and atmosphere were key to both architects philosophies. The qualities of a room cannot be described in terms of luminous efficacy alone. The eye perceives and people experience. Light gives atmosphere to a room. 3

Fixtures lend identity to light Every Louis Poulsen Lighting product stems from the demand for a specific lighting concept and a solution that determines the final design of a product. Developed for Munich Airport, the Airport fixture is a case in point. The project called for a product that could be suspended high up in a room while also rendering a high level of light. This is why the light is predominantly distributed downward (see the white room illustration on the opposite page). In contrast, the PH Artichoke and PH Louvre are designed to fill a room with soft, diffuse light. Louis Poulsen Lighting recognizes the benefits of light sources with superior color rendering. For this reason, we have chosen to use metal halide and incandescent lamps in all of our pendants that appear throughout this brochure. The white room pictures on the opposite page demonstrate the light distribution of various pendants. 5

Where does light come from? Outdoors, we never doubt where light comes from. It comes from above and from the sides - it surrounds us. But interior light is different. Natural light usually falls through windows, commonly placed in walls and sometimes in the ceiling, which allows both horizontal and vertical light to enter. To accommodate cleaning, energy and environmental considerations, most interior lighting is built into ceilings, so that the light is directed downwards through the room (horizontal lighting). Pendants emit lighting that is more spatial (vertical lighting). To avoid large numbers of pendants, designers often combine them with downlights to create atmosphere and to improve the level of lighting. The result is a combination of horizontal and vertical lighting. 7

LP Charisma Queen LP Charisma Queen was designed to be suspended lower in the room than LP Charisma King, for example above conference tables. The addition of the Queen version endows the LP Charisma series with even more areas of application. LP Charisma Queen was designed for compact fluorescent lamps. The organic shape of the inner cylinder conveys an aesthetic yet simple impression which, despite the size of the fixture, does not intrude upon its surroundings.

LP Charisma King LP Charisma King is self-illuminating and designed to minimize glare in any direction. A slim acrylic cone defines the fixture s outer shape, expressing the primary, downward direction of the light. LP Charisma King distributes light evenly, and its conical shape prevents rooms from being divided into two sections of light, one above and one below the fixture. The middle shades are opal, rendering soft, diffuse light while directing small amounts of light upward into the fixture. LP Charisma King is available with two types of reflectors: a white painted reflector emitting medium beam diffuse lighting or an aluminum reflector emitting narrow-beam downward light suited for high-ceilinged rooms. Use LP Charisma King in: foyers hallways stairways high-ceilinged rooms with balconies auditoriums open-plan offices dining areas production areas museums LP Charisma King: is a flexible lighting solution with its two reflector types has a simple design ideal for repetitive suspension is unobtrusive is suited for viewing from all angles is suited for flexible placement in high- or medium-ceilinged rooms combines contemporary materials 11

PH Louvre Via its geometric shape, PH Louvre distributes uniform, glare-free and soft light into a room. PH Louvre was designed to illuminate the space surrounding the fixture, distributing light evenly from the pendant surface from its 13 reflecting conical shades. The combination of the polished surface and matte finish on the underside of the shades gives optimum control of light reflections and comfortably illuminates a room.

PH Artichoke The 72 leaves direct light into the room while also illuminating the leaf surfaces for visual interest. PH Artichoke is based on Poul Henningsen s theory of shade reflections. The fixture has no direct view to the light source and thus no glare. PH Artichoke is available in brushed copper, white paint or brushed stainless steel. The 72 leaf surfaces are indirectly illuminated, creating differences in emitted light depending on the material from which it is reflected. Copper lends a warm hue to the light, whereas stainless steel and white paint produce cooler and more neutral light. Use PH Artichoke in: foyers hallways reception areas auditoriums restaurants concert halls theatres PH Artichoke: has no direct glare is suited for solo and repetitive suspension illuminates the space beautifully is a design icon lends identity and prestige has long-life design is a pendant that creates atmosphere in a room 17

Enigma 825 Enigma 825 is a delicate fixture, designed for rooms with ceiling heights of at least 12 feet. As its name indicates, Enigma has a diameter of 825 millimeters, and a pendant height of 4½ feet. Enigma 825 emits a soft, comfortable and indirect light created from the shades diffusing the light source. The direct downward light is broken by the bottom cup and thus avoiding direct glare. The illumination of the seven shades spreads the light into a room, giving the fixture an appearance of hovering effortlessly. The top side of the shades are matte and textured to heighten light distribution, and the undersides are polished to better reflect diffusing light. 21

Airport As its name denotes, Airport was developed as a general lighting fixture for an airport in Munich. Airport is a reflector-based fixture, designed to illuminate high-ceilinged rooms. The reflector is available in two versions: A narrow-beam version with an aluminum reflector and a wide-beam version with a white reflector. With both versions, lighting is directed downward. 23

PH 6 Maxi PH 6 Maxi is an enhancement of PH s brilliant three-shade system. Above the upper shade of the three-shade fixture, Poul Henningsen designed the fixture with a trumpet-like top as a fourth shade. This directs the light horizontally away from the fixture, spreading it into the room. PH 6 Maxi was designed with the same lighting comfort principles as the other PH fixtures. The light source is totally shielded to prevent direct glare. PH 6 Maxi can be accompanied by its smaller sibling, the PH 6 Mini.

Collage Pendant Collage Pendant is ideal for suspension in conference rooms, dining areas and restaurants where lighting should help underline the ambience while also meeting functional requirements. Collage Pendant comes with three shades of elliptical patterns, cut to cover the light source and to prevent glare. A top or lower shade can be mounted to achieve complete shielding of the light source without any notable loss of illumination. Collage Pendant primarily directs light downwards. Mounting a lower shade achieves soft, diffuse downward light, which may prove advantageous if Collage Pendant hangs suspended over a table with a polished or reflective surface. Use Collage in: conference rooms and auditoriums open-plan offices reception areas dining areas restaurants shops and stores Collage: no direct glare beautiful illumination of surroundings - superb room lighting classic design inspired by natural light flexible placement in a room inspiring and unconventional style atmosphere and elegance 29
